Architectural Barriers

Despite the fact that the process of inclusive education implementation has been taking place in Poland for a few years now, it still encounters a lot of obstacles relating to, among other things, the readiness of mainstream settings, including teachers, for inclusion. For this process to be successful, teachers’ attitudes to the idea of inclusive education are also important. The primary purpose of the study was to explore the opinions of mainstream preschool teachers on selected aspects of inclusive education for students with disabilities. The study covered 76 preschool teachers. A diagnostic survey was used in the study. The findings showed that mainstream preschool teachers (generally) supported the idea of inclusive education for students with disabilities to a small extent only (i.e., a little bit below the average). This opinion correlated positively with a sense of readiness for specific tasks relating to the education of students with disabilities and providing it in an educational setting as well as with having formal teacher education in this area. The study also showed that mainstream preschool teachers were relatively most favorably inclined (however, only around the average) toward inclusive preschool education for students with mild intellectual disabilities, and least favorably - for students with multiple disabilities and blind students. The findings confirmed the reports found in the literature regarding significant gaps in preparation for tasks relating to the education of students with disabilities felt by mainstream preschool teachers. They also confirmed the fact that the vast majority of teachers saw many obstacles to the implementation of inclusive education in preschool, in particular relating to: specialists (mainly lack of specialists), too large preschool groups, and school space (mainly architectural barriers). Moreover, the findings showed that only a small number of teachers saw advantages of inclusive education - subject to specific conditions, though. The study findings suggest that it is necessary to provide more effective, specialist support for mainstream preschool teachers in their work with students/children with disabilities and to introduce changes in preschool teacher training at the college level.

An important condition ensuring the adaptability of educational environment, hence, socialization of physically challenged children under inclusive conditions, is the competence of specialists implemented under new professional circumstances. Special attention should be paid to professional competence of specialists under inclusion in the system of preschool education. The theoretical analysis of the issue of professional competence of pedagogues in the practice of inclusive preschool education is reflected in the Russian and foreign researches, which testifies to the topicality of the issue. The research objectives are: to describe the conceptual basis of professional competence of the pedagogues of the system of inclusive preschool education (by the example of combined groups), which consists of cognitive, operational-functional and personality components; to prove the influence of professional competence of the pedagogues under inclusion on socialization of preschool physically challenged children. The practical part of the research was carried out by the following methods: analysis of scientific psychological-pedagogical sources, dissertations on the topic; summarization of theoretical conceptions; comparative analysis of the practices of inclusive education; questioning; interviews with various categories of specialists; analysis of the process and products of activities; mathematical processing of the results. The research results allowed identifying the key features of professional competence of the pedagogues of inclusive preschool educational establishments, which not only provide the efficient psychological-pedagogical support of physically challenged children, but also serve as the condition for socialization of these preschool children.

Öz 1983 yılında Özel Eğitime Muhtaç Çocuklar Yasası ile birlikte yasal olarak uygulamalarda yer alması beklenen kaynaştırma eğitimi, bugün okul öncesi eğitimde zorunlu eğitsel bir uygulamadır. Bu makalede, öncelikle kaynaştırma eğitiminin tanımı yapılmış ve kaynaştırma eğitiminin faydaları ile ilgili uluslararası alanyazındaki çalışmalar özetlenmiş, ardından Türkiye’de kaynaştırma eğitimi ve okul öncesinde kaynaştırma eğitimi konularına değinilerek yasal dayanaklarından bahsedilmiştir. Türkiye’de kaynaştırma eğitimiyle ilgili yapılan araştırmalar; (1) okul öncesi öğretmen ve öğretmen adaylarının bilgi, görüş ve tutumları, (2) sınıf içi uygulamalar, (3) sosyal beceriler, (4) derlemeler ve (5) diğer, başlıkları altında ele alınmıştır. Araştırmalar incelendiğinde, okul öncesi öğretmen ve öğretmen adaylarının kaynaştırma eğitimine yönelik olumlu tutuma sahip oldukları; ancak, daha fazla bilgiye gereksinim duydukları, sınıf içi geçişlerde belli başlı uygulamaları gerçekleştirdikleri fakat alanyazındaki uygulamaların hepsini sınıflarında uygulamak için desteğe gereksinim duydukları ve özel gereksinimli çocuklara sunulan sosyal beceri programlarının faydalı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda uygulamaya yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur. Abstract Inclusion is a compulsory educational practice for preschool children with disabilities in Turkey. In this article, first, the definition of inclusion is provided. Second, the benefits of inclusion are summarized using the international literature. Third, a summary of studies conducted in Turkey in relation to inclusive preschool education is presented followed by a description of the legal basis for inclusion in Turkey. The research focused on inclusive preschool education in Turkey was examined under five categories: (1) opinions and attitudes of preschool teachers and teacher candidates towards inclusion, (2) classroom practices, (3) social skills, (4) research summaries and literature reviews and (5) other studies. An examination of these studies has shown that preschool teachers and teacher candidates have positive attitudes towards inclusion, but they need more information for successful implementation of inclusion. Moreover, preschool teachers implement certain practices with respect to in-class transitions, however, they need more support to apply all recommended practices noted in the literature. In addition, social skills programs provided to children with special needs were beneficial. Recommendations for future practice are presented at the end of the paper.

The Future

The improvement of the quality of preschool education is an important task for the modern stage demonstrating the development of the Ukrainian society, the implementation of which, above all, requires the efforts of higher education institutions to train a methodologically competent specialist, who is able to master and create innovative methods, techniques and technologies for organizing the educational process of a pre-school education institution. This task fully meets the requirements of the State Standard for Preschool Education in Ukraine, the documents regulating the functioning and modern guidelines for the development of pre-school and higher education of Ukraine in the 21st century. Under these conditions, the formation of methodological competence of the future pre-school educators is of paramount importance. The purpose of the article is to cover and analyse the results of the diagnostics determining the proficiency markers of the future pre-school educators’ methodological competence at the ascertaining stage of the experiment. We consider the methodological competence of future pre-school educators as an integrative personal composition characterized by these features: the presence of the ability to reflect, the desire to carry out methodological activities, the understanding of its value, theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which provide the ability to consciously and methodologically use methods and techniques and technologies of preschool children’s education, upbringing and development. The structure of the future preschool educators’ methodological competence is made up of the cognitive, motivation- and value-centred, activity-oriented and evaluative-reflexive components and their indicators, according to which the manual of diagnostic methods is created and selected. During the ascertaining stage of the experiment, a sufficient level of methodological competence was demonstrated by 16.6%, a basic level – by 61.7%, a low level – by 21.7% of the future educators. Keywords: future educators of pre-school education establishments, methodological competence, diagnostics, components, indicators, the ascertaining stage.

Confirmatory Factor

The aim is to develop a scale to demonstrate the instructional approaches that teachers apply in inclusive preschool classrooms, where typically developed and talented/gifted children are educated together. A total of 156 teachers working in inclusive preschools in Ankara formed the study group. The scale consists of 22 five-point, Likert-type items. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a structure consisting of three factors and 18 items was obtained. The first factor termed as ‘Differentiation’ consists of seven items, while the second factor, ‘Detection and Development of Potential’ consists of eight items, and the third factor of the scale, ‘Motivation’ consists of three items. The scale accounts for 44.61% of the total variance. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, it determined that the scale was in good agreement with the model in general. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale is defined as .88 and the reliability of the subscales is determined between .76 and .83. In addition, the correlation coefficients of the items in each factor are higher than .30. In general, it is found that the three-factor structure of the scale is valid and reliable.
